The Projectionist

By David L. Ruggeri

The genesis of a serial killer begins when 12-year-old William Jarrett considers himself "abandoned" by his parents in an all-boys' summer camp and boarding school. Afterwards, the institutionally-inclined young man joins the US Navy where he finds a special joy as a part-time projectionist for his shipmates movies and sexual satisfaction murdering prostitutes while on shore leave. Demobilized, he finds a job as the projectionist in a dieing art house Los Angeles movie theater and continues to pursue an unrequited illusion of what he regards as "True Beauty." Of course, he feels compelled to destroy those who don't meet his expectations. William's murderous obsession becomes easily confused with the dramas he projects nightly on the silver screen and his descent into madness will culminate in his finally discovering the object of all his desires.
